What people are saying about Tirana District

This tour was really amazing. We started in Krujë, strolled through the old street market and then went to the castle. After lunch, which was excellent, by the way, we went to Durrës. We had a cappuccino by the sea and went out to the beach. There we visit the walls that surround the city, the Roman amphitheater and the Venetian tower. Then we went to the viewpoint where you can see the whole city and that indescribable blue sea. We returned to Tirana in the late afternoon, not wanting the day to end.

Byvandringen i Durrës var fin og med en passende menge informasjon fra en kunnskapsrik guide. På vingården hadde vi en kort omvisning før vi avsluttet dagen med en nydelig lunsj sammen med vinsmakingen. Turen står oppgitt til 10 timer, men varte ikke mer enn 5-6 timer, noe vi syns var bra (vi bodde i Durrës).

It was one of the best tours I ever did. It was actually a private tour with a good car. Ermal the tourguide was extremely good. His knowledge about everything. Very friendly. No problem to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend this tour to everybody visiting Albania.

My guide was Bledi and he was amazing! So Knowledgeable, helpful and lovely. I had a wonderful time with him to Berat and he told me some great Albania legends that I will never forget. Faleminderit Bledi
